Title:
  orca 49.1 bugfix release

Status in orca package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug for updating orca from 49~beta to 49.1.
  The update contains mostly bugfixes:


  49.1 - 20 September 2025

  Fixes for Regressions:

  * Orca would not launch in environments which lack BrlAPI.

  * Toggling CapsLock via double-click was not being spoken.

  * KeyEcho in terminals was failing in some environments.

  =========

  49.0 - 17 September 2025

  New Features:

  * Orca-controlled caret navigation is now available in all text objects;
    not just web content. To toggle it, try Orca + F12. Note that there
    are still improvements to be made and bugs to be fixed.

  * Support for more commands and settings have been added to the D-Bus
   "Remote Controller".

  Other Changes:

  * Restore OnlyShowIn=GNOME to the orca-autostart.desktop file so that Orca
    v49 and later can be autostarted in earlier versions of GNOME. Execute
    Orca with `--replace` so that when autostart is used, any previously-
    running versions of Orca are terminated first.

  * Present static text descriptions associated with GtkList ancestors.

  * Speak system messages with "some" punctuation rather than "no"
    punctuation to ensure symbols like percentage are spoken.

  * Treat unicode mark characters as diacritics for the purpose of key
    echo so that combining characters are spoken.

  * Fix echoing of keypad keys when NumLock is on.
